WILSON
I am looking for any info on Will & Hester WILSON. Both
Will & Hester were born in TN. Hester was born abt 1867. They had 3 sons
Sam, Fulton & Hllas. Hester was a widow in the 1910 Census in Jackson
County, AL. Her youngest son Hllas was born in 1910, TN and showed up on the
1910 Census in AL. He did not show up on any other Census. I am assuming that
they also moved to Alabama around that time. On the 1910 Census, Hester was
living with her 3 sons. Hester, Fulton & Sam were working at the Pencil
Factory in Jackson County, AL. Her first son Fulton James Wilson was born 1892
in Tullahoma, TN. Her 2nd son Sam (my grandfather) was born in 1894 in
Tullahoma, TN. Both sons died in 1946 in AL. Sam died in Jan 1946. Hester was
mentioned in his Obit. She was living in Manchester, Coffee Co., TN at the
time. Fulton died in Oct, 1946. Hester was not mentioned. I believe Hester died
in 1946. If anyone knows anything about this family I would appreciate any
information you have. Thanks

MINE ON OLD GREGORY PLACE?
I need info on a possible mine that existed on the old
Gregory place on Panhandle Road. Vance Goode purchased this farm and my
grandfather, William Logan Rice, bought it in 1956 from Mr. Goode. The land ran
at least 1/4th or more of a mile off the present Panhandle Road, to within a
short distance of 16th Model Road. Interstate 24 now runs through the middle of
it, and the Hullett's purchased the part of the farm between 16th Model and the
Interstate. There was some sort of old mine on this property. I would like to
find more information on the mine. Bobo Amos recalled how he fell in a
"sinkhole" on top the hill overlooking the highway when he was a kid,
and saw ore cars and rails down there. Also, there is what seems to be the
remnants of an old water race between my grandfather's old house (now owned by
Dean Ellis), and the former Horace Crosslin farm (now owned by Mr. Johnson). If
anyone has info on just what sort of mine this was, and when it was in
operation, please contact me.
